A sequel to the Sex and the City movie is in the early stages of development, HBO confirms to Entertainment Weekly.

And why not? Since its debut in theaters at the end of May, the first spin-off movie from the series has racked up a ridiculous $345 million.

“We’re really heartened by the fans’ enthusiasm,” Michael Lombardo, president of HBO’s programming group, said at the cable network’s annual press tour in Los Angeles. “Absolutely, there is a lot of energy behind doing another SATC movie.”

However, the lead actresses (Sarah Jessica Parker, Cynthia Nixon, Kim Cattrall and Kristin Davis) aren’t rushing to do the sequel as to not risk disappointing their loyal fans.

WOULD YOU WATCH a sequel to the Sex and the City movie?

Sex and the City has been doing phenomenally well at the box office, earning the title of top-opening romantic comedy of all-time. And now the ladies of Sex — Sarah Jessica Parker, Cynthia Nixon, Kim Cattrall and Kristin Davis — each have their own covers for the July 2008 issue of Marie Claire, out June 10th.

The girls share the gossip, glamour, and truth about the SATC cultural phenomenon:

Kim Cattrall (Samantha Jones) on holding out to make the movie: Four years ago I was going through a painful public divorce, the series was coming to an end, and my father was diagnosed with dementia. I felt it was time to be with my real family. A year-and-a-half ago, when I was sent the script, I was ready and strong enough to revisit Samantha. In some ways, I’m glad we waited. The script and the experience of making the movie was the best possible reunion.

Producer Darren Star on the gals of SATC: “These were women who were objectifying men. And it was sort of jarring. Men aren’t used to hearing themselves depersonalized and referred to as Mr. This or Mr. That. I think if you had a show with that sort of locker-room talk from a bunch of guys talking about women, it would be a little ‘yuck.’”

The ladies of Sex and the City look ferosh on the cover of this week’s special double issue of Entertainment Weekly.

The cover story, of course, features the movie’s stars Sarah Jessica Parker, Kim Cattrall, Kristin Davis and Cynthia Nixon.

“‘On my first day, we all had to walk down the street together, and there were hundreds of people on Park Avenue, watching us,” says Nixon. ”It was daunting.”

Added Parker, ”It took two to three times as long to shoot. It’s flattering that anybody still cares about these characters. But it’s like an amoeba — ever-growing and out of control.”

Sarah Jessica Parker (in Alexander McQueen) is one mean green thing at the world premiere of Sex And The City held at the Odeon Leicester Square on Monday in London, England.

SJP was recently asked whose idea it was to cast Jennifer Hudson. She said, “Michael Patrick King. I had wanted him to include an African-American [character on the show] for a long time, because I recognized that African-American women would legitimately say, ‘Why aren’t there enough women of color [on the show]?’ And I would say, ‘I agree. It hasn’t really reflected New York.’ And Michael was always [insisting] that you can’t do token [parts]; you can’t just throw someone in there because it’s necessary. You have to find something real or it’s even worse than not getting somebody. So he wrote this part, and he said he wanted Jennifer Hudson. And I was like, ‘Sure, get in line! Everyone wants Jennifer Hudson.’ And then she came in and read, which I couldn’t believe. And she was lovely. She’s beautiful in person. She’s gorgeous. She’s probably six inches taller than me, easily. And she was so happy to be there and so enthusiastic and couldn’t believe it.” To read the full interview, visit Premiere.com.
